It's not that I'm getting old, it's just that I've figured out what I want to burn my energy on and I place a great deal of value on a good nights sleep.<br />In high school I ran a 4.9 second 40 yd dash, now I get winded walking to the top of my steps. Don't even show me a stop watch!<br />I have chosen to limit the frequency at which I bend at the waste because it's becoming less of an option and it's a long way down to my shoe tops and I might get lost and not find my way back.<br />Old people are credited for spending vast amounts of time in the bathroom. Its because they are actually smarter that the rest of us.<br />1. No one wants to see an old person on the toilet so no body bothers them there.<br />2. Most modern bathrooms have many forms of entertainment, magazines, news papers, and the occasional novel to read. So grand parents can entertain themselves for hours.<br />3. Perfect excuse - " I forgot..."<br />4. If at first you don't succeed,... Take a nap.<br /><br />R.W.Belw Sr.Robert Belew Srnoreply@blogger.com
